2015 Finish-A-Long: Q1 Finishes

The Finish-A-Long has been a huge motivator for me since its inception, and I'm happy to report another successful quarter.
 

What was the beginnings of a baby quilt did indeed get finished and gifted.

I used Judy Martin's Star Cluster block and up-sized it to make a 40" quilt. This was very fun to make scrappy from stash. 

 Oh, Baby! 

 

I had begun another baby quilt using shecanquilt's Canvas pattern.

 No surprise, it was straight-forward and fun to pull together, and it too has been gifted.

Faith Circle's December quilt was another priority. I had all the blocks and just needed to move forward with them.

The resultant "Junctions" made me so pleased - this palette just always seems to sing. And the intersection blocks using the tutorial by Film in the Fridge were such fun. Considering this quilt was sent off to FAITH Circle's chosen charity, I may just need to try this pattern again sometime.

I'd been wanting a patchwork-covered sketch book for quite some time, so making it a priority to finish before heading to QuiltCon was a no-brainer.

Using Carolyn Friedlander's Doe made this task just a pleasure, and the book has been in pretty constant use ever since. (And I've made about 7 more!)

Lastly is a project you've seen plenty of already this week, my Keychain in Oakshotts and Essex. At the start of the FAL quarter, I had one lone block . . .

And I finished the quilt just in the nick of time! Whew! A great way to end the quarter!

So there we go! I'm pretty pleased to be 5/5! You can click on the names of each project if you missed their reveal posts. Now it's time to plan what's up next!
